I have a Huawei phone and the screen suddenly went blank and is flashing Huawei every few seconds. It is charged, bill is paid. I held the power off button for thirty seconds and it will not power down. I never had this issue before with any phone. Suggestions?

Nevermind. Guess I just had to schedule golf.

I've had the hose out a couple of times in the past as I have some outdoor plants in pots that need water every 4-5 days. But, like I said I don't remember a week without rain. My buddy out near Vista del Lago says they have not had any either, except a very light sprinkle.

Not a newbie. As I said eight years here fulltime. But, I've never had six consecutive dry days and nights during rainy season. I'm certainly not panicking...just observing.

Been here eight years and never seen that happen in rainy season. I know it's rained in other spots but this is unusual imo.

That would be Victor. And yes he does great work at decent costs. I used to go next door to Roberto's...cheap as well, but nowhere near the quality.

Thanks. Care to share any particulars? You can PM me if you prefer.

I use a lot of power as I have two refrigerators a pool, pump and a freezer. It usually runs about $4,000 or so. Went to over $6,00 this time? WTF?

And if we get the SS COLA increase of 8-10% predicted that is a bunch of pesos a month.

Pouring in Brisas fort the last hour. Heaviest rain yet this season...just wrong time of day, but I'll take it.

Great little town, if you're talking about the one out near Vista del Lago.

You can email me...whiteherb48@gmail.com

I live in Brisas de Chapala. It has rained twice in the past five days. Neither was heavy. I know some folks have been getting more, but I've been here almost eight years and this is the dryest June yet.

pm me.

Don't know about legality, but I've been growing for seven years in my garden and so have several friends. Nobody ever had a problem. A few plants in a private space is no problem imo.

I receieved pot seeds and tomatoe seeds by mail and they both went through customs. Both growing now.

I used the crest whitening strips. made a big difference after two weeks. Got them on Amazon Mx., or mercado libre.

Thanks.

You can google a lot of info. There are several courses that are within an hours drive. A couple just 30 minutes or less depending on where you live. Chula Vista is in San Antonio. it is an executive type short tight track. It's hilly, but generally kept in good condition. Chapala Country Club is about 30 minutes from Ajijic center. It is a nine hole course that has multiple tees to help make it less boring. Not a bad track. greens are very hard. A couple of interesting holes, but nothing special. It has a large membership and quite a few competitions weekly for men and women. Atlas is about a 40 minute drive from Ajijic. It is a very nice course and always kept in top shape. It's a great layout and a beautiful track with huge trees lining both sides of most fairways. It's a true test for golfers of any skill. But, it has tees that compensate for age and high handicappers. Another really nice course is El Cielo. A little over an hour from Ajijic. It is over 7,00 foot elevation and has some spectacular views from several holes. Another true test for golfers of all levels. It is kept in really good condition as well. There are 3-4 other courses in the Guadalajara area that can be played as a non-member. You can find rates and ,membership costs at the websites for each course. It is a great area for golf that is less expensive than the states and our weather is incredible. I play 2-3 times a week and have missed maybe five days due to weather in seven years. If you have specific questions PM me. I am a member at Atlas.

Mudgirl, can you read? I said if someone can afford it to tip more than 10-15% Comprende?

If you tip 10-15% here you are cheap in my opinion. Unless that is truly all you can afford. But everyone has their own definition. And hey Mudgirl, maybe he married a woman who is, shall we say very frugal, cause they think alike huh? No, I have not polled thousands of Mexicans, just basing my opinion on my life's experience, human nature and common sense.

rafter you are out of your gourd. For every Mexican you think feels the way you say they do, there are 10,000 that are grateful that someone more fortunate than they are has made a decision to share. I have worked jobs for tips in my younger days, and also relied on commissions in sales jobs. I never once felt someone was a fool for giving me a tip larger than normal, or increasing my share of a sale. No matter how much you squirm and use others to try to justify being a cheap so and so the truth is evident.

So I guess we can mark down rafterbr as one of the cheap ones.

I told people who told me I was overtipping when I came here that it was none of their f....g business what I tip. Still feel that way. As far as help getting snooty, then their tip goes way down. Pretty simple really. And yes. I believe folks who tip Mexicans 10-15 % are cheap, unless they truly can't afford more. but, it is their prerogative.
